Wow Nick!

Original box, original paint and the original burner.

Quite the trifecta.

Well done. 👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks Charlie and Gil  :)

Original box, original paint and the original burner.

The boiler is actually copper on this one. It was sold with the following description: "No. 1, copper bottom, burnished copper boiler, brass stand, neatly packed in handsome box with directions" (Price by mail, $1.50) - 1873

Sure wish it had the whistle and instructions... but having the box is very special  :)
